OmniaGuard Shield — Privacy Policy

1. What OmniaGuard Shield Does

OmniaGuard Shield is a browser extension that:

• Blocks known tracking scripts, analytics services, and advertising networks
• Blocks connections to known malicious and phishing domains
• Displays a shield badge showing the number of requests blocked on the current page
• Stores your protection preferences (on/off toggles) locally in your browser

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

OmniaGuard Shield operates entirely on your device. We do not:

• Collect, record, or transmit your browsing history
• Collect information about websites you visit
• Collect personal information of any kind
• Send any data to OmniaGuard servers or third-party servers
• Use cookies or any cross-site tracking mechanisms
• Sell, share, or monetize any user data

3. Local Storage Only

The extension stores the following data only in your local browser storage (never transmitted):

• Protection toggles: Your on/off preferences for tracker blocking, malware blocking, and the page badge
• Lifetime blocked count: A running total of requests blocked, stored locally so you can see your cumulative protection

This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time by removing the extension or clearing browser storage.

4. How Blocking Works (Technical)

OmniaGuard Shield uses Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API (Manifest V3). This means:

• Blocking rules are evaluated by the browser engine itself — OmniaGuard code never reads the content of blocked requests
• No request URLs, headers, or content are processed by extension JavaScript for the purpose of blocking
• The extension cannot and does not intercept, read, or log your web traffic

5. Permissions Explained

• declarativeNetRequest: Required to block tracker and malware domains. Does not allow reading page content.
• activeTab: Required to show the blocked-count badge on the current tab. Does not grant persistent access to your tabs.
• storage: Required to save your toggle preferences locally.
• webNavigation: Required to reset per-tab counters when you navigate to a new page.
• host_permissions (<all_urls>): Required by declarativeNetRequest to apply blocking rules across all websites.

6. Blocklist Updates

Blocklists are bundled with the extension and updated with each new extension version. No remote blocklist fetching occurs. No network requests are made by OmniaGuard Shield itself.

7. Third-Party Services

OmniaGuard Shield does not use any third-party analytics, crash reporting, or data collection services. The extension contains no telemetry code.

8. Children's Privacy

OmniaGuard Shield does not collect data from any users, including children under 13. The extension is suitable for use by individuals of all ages.

9. Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date above and release a new version of the extension. Your continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
